Izabel Camp day - Seamus has fun too.

Izabel started day camp on Monday at our church. They have full schedules from 8.30 am to 5.30 pm and she is tired out by the end of the day! So Monday with everyone off and Izabel at camp Seamus had a doctor appointment. He did so well at the appointment that we took him over to Toys-r-us to spend his birthday gift. Then we went to the Aurora mall because I had to get my glasses fixed. Seamus enjoyed some pizza. The Aurura mall comes under the heading of how things change and stay the same.
BEFORE anyone (Grandma Ann) makes comment - these pictures are all of Seamus because Izabel was at camp and therefor not in range of the camera.

Seamus enjoyed the reflection in the tiles.

Uncle Vito????

Seamus found a store with his name all over it - SGH are his initials.

Virtual Academy???

Izabel is 8 now and attends Colorado Virtual Academy (COVA). It is her 4th year there. She is in 3rd grade but will be in 4th sometime this winter.
What is a virtual academy? It is a charter school (part of the Adams 12 district) that is part of the public school system. We receive all her materials, some of them physically and others on the online school (OLS). As her parents we are her learning coaches and she has a teachers she works with online. She must attend 180 days of school and 968 hours in the year just like all public school children in Colorado, but she can do that at her pace and timing. That means we may cut a day short if it just is not working or we have an activity and make it up later even on the weekends. Because of Izabel's unique situation - ADHD and her abilities in science, math, and art but need for support in language arts and the support with pacing and staying on task (that is as her learning coaches we can be sure she is getting at least what other kids in Colorado are) this form of school is the best option for her right now.

My Hat

Seamus is on his third hat now. this one is stolen from his mother; it was her hiking hat. Everywhere he goes we now hear, "Where did you get that hat? He looks like an adventurer. No really, where did you get that hat?" The answer is that we have had it so long we cannot remember.

Seamus outgrew his zoo hat but he had 2 of them. My first hat went on hikes - was lost and found by another hiker, then lost and found hanging on a tree on the way back to the trail-head, went to museums, and all over the high plains of Colorado.

Every time I wear my zoo hat someone asks, "Have you been to the zoo today? Your hat says that." No matter what time of day, what I am doing , someone ALWAYS says that exact statement.

Why does the hat go everywhere? Seamus is sensitive to light - part of his Sensory Processing Disorder and cannot stand having the sunlight in his eyes. Reason 2 - Seamus has short hair and doesn't want a sunburn especially at altitude we get a lot of UV - check out the EPA UV index to see if you need a hat (link below). Reason 3 - it is a cool hat that is comfortable.
